integral from 0 to pi/2 of 5cos^2(θ)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 5 cos^{2} (θ) d θ

\frac{5 π}{4}

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 5 cos^{2} (θ) d θ

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 5 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos^{2} (θ) d θ

Rewrite using trig identities

= 5 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} \frac{1 + cos ( 2 θ )}{2} d θ

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 + cos (2 θ) d θ

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d θ + \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 θ) d θ)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d θ = \frac{π}{2}

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 θ) d θ = 0

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} + 0)

Simplify

5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} + 0) : \frac{5 π}{4}

= \frac{5 π}{4}

\int_{0}^{\frac{3}{2}} \frac{1}{9 - x ^{2}} d x

\int_{0}^{2} 4 + x^{2} d x

\int_{1}^{16} \frac{x - 5}{x} d x

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{x ^{3}}{1 + x ^{4}} d x

\int_{0}^{2 π} - sin (t) cos (t) d t
